The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Wednesday sacked former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) president Pervez Khattak from the party over allegations of inciting the party members to revolt.
“With reference to the show cause notice served to you earlier dated June 21, 2023, you have not provided a satisfactory reply within the given stipulated time regarding contacting party members and inciting them to leave the party.

“Now, therefore, you are served with this notice of termination from your basic membership of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). Your membership from PTI has been terminated with immediate effect,” read the notice issued by the party’s secretary general, Omar Ayub Khan, a copy of which is available with The Express Tribune, on Wednesday.
Last month, Khattak was issued the show cause notice for an explanation for allegedly inciting the members to leave the former ruling party, The News reported.
The notice issued by the PTI secretary general required Khattak to explain his position on the anti-party move within seven days of the notice.
Khattak had served as the K-P chief minister as well as the defence minister during the PTI government in K-P and at the Centre.
